Grab The Heroine and Run Away Ch.15
Xu Heran tilted her head cautiously, Xin Nuo leaned against her shoulder. Her closed eyelashes resembled black butterflies, with delicately beautiful wings. Her black hair cascaded, carrying the scent of the most ordinary shampoo from the supermarket, yet because of Xin Nuo, Xu Heran found it incredibly fragrant!
It smelled even better than the rose bath oil supposedly infused with gold fragments that Sister Cui sent over, claiming to be a mastercrafted masterpiece!
She bit her tongue, her gaze gently tracing Xin Nuo’s cheek, her eyes radiating a fascination she hadn’t realized herself. She couldn’t help but exclaim in her heart, “So beautiful.”
Nuo Nuo was truly beautiful.
In Xu Heran’s heart, a smitten little person seemed to turn into a pool of water, hearts swirling in her eyes. She even lowered her gaze, sneakily glancing at other parts of Nuo Nuo… Well, Xu Heran swore to the heavens, she absolutely didn’t mean it in any other way. It’s just that since they were hugging face-to-face, certain parts happened to bump into each other. Hehe, soft and squishy Nuo Nuo~
Nuo Nuo looked tall and slender, so why did she feel so comfortable to hold! Xu Heran couldn’t resist playfully ruffling Xin Nuo’s hair.
Summer had arrived, and the room wasn’t particularly cold, but sitting on the floor for too long wasn’t comfortable. Xin Nuo had vomited not long ago, so Xu Heran was concerned about her health. Yet Xin Nuo nestled on her shoulder, eyes closed, looking as if she had fallen asleep.
Xu Heran fiddled with her fingers, her determination gradually growing.
She couldn’t let Nuo Nuo sleep on the floor!
The bright light illuminated every corner of the small room, a bustling figure reflected in the glass mirror.
The girl, dressed in short pajamas and shorts, held her companion in her arms. Clenching her teeth, she slowly propped herself up with her slender, long legs.
“Stand up, Xu Heran!” She encouraged herself aloud, giving herself a pep talk. However, she forgot one thing—she had been sitting on the floor for too long, maintaining one position… her legs had gone numb.
At the moment she slowly stood up while holding Xin Nuo, a tingling and itching sensation rushed into her nerves. Before she could react, her knees went weak.
“Thud.”
Xu Heran slumped onto the floor, her eyes devoid of expression as she stared at the ceiling.
The person leaning against her chest trembled, and the black hair scattered on her face trembled along.
“Don’t laugh…” Xu Heran feebly protested.
She had just failed to lift her up!
“Yes, I’m sorry.” Xin Nuo covered her face and continued to laugh.
“Hmph!” Xu Heran huffed in annoyance. “I did this all for you, after all.”
“Mhm, mhm.” Xin Nuo kept on laughing. She lay on Xu Heran’s body, extending her arm and placing her palm on Xu Heran’s face, soothingly rubbing.
The small flame of annoyance within Xu Heran was extinguished with a soft “swoosh.”
“Why are you so easily comforted?” Xin Nuo, done with her laughter, found that the darkness that had been plaguing her was gradually receding, and happiness was gently flowing within her heart.
She sat up, her hair lifted by the breeze and gently cascading down on Xu Heran. The girl with the light on her back extended her hand, saying, “Come.”
Xu Heran could have easily stood up by herself, but Xin Nuo reached out. She immediately held onto Xin Nuo’s arm and sat up.
“I wanted to carry you to the bed.” Xu Heran muttered.
“Like in TV dramas?” Xin Nuo asked with a smile. She grasped Xu Heran’s right wrist with one hand and tapped her right palm with her fingers, saying, “Look at your skinny arms, I’m taller than you.”
Xu Heran immediately retorted, “I can still grow!”
Seeing Xin Nuo’s skepticism, she provided an example, “Everyone in my family is tall, and my sister wasn’t even as tall as me when she was sixteen. Now she’s a full 1.7 meters!”
Xin Nuo said with a playful smile, “That’s still the same height as me.”
“Hmph, just wait and see. I’ll definitely grow taller than you!” Xu Heran crossed her arms, making a determined declaration to Xin Nuo, who was laughing uncontrollably. “I’ll work hard to exercise my body! Abs and obliques! Then I’ll lift you up in various ways!”
“Xu Heran will lift up Xin Nuo Nuo!”
“Ha… Hahaha.” Xin Nuo nodded repeatedly, still laughing. “Alright, alright, I’ll let you lift me.”
Xu Heran, who had been glaring menacingly at Xin Nuo, suddenly softened. Who could stay angry at Xin Nuo’s smile?
Xu Heran’s eyes curved in response.
With her laughter subsiding, Xin Nuo raised her hand, wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes. She gazed into Xu Heran’s eyes and said, “Thank you, Heran.”
Not the usual playful monikers like ‘Little Princess’ or ‘Little Pearl,’ but her actual name, Heran.
Xu Heran suddenly felt that her name sounded quite pleasant!
The atmosphere in the room turned gentle. Xu Heran led Xin Nuo out of the washroom and rummaged through the closet for clothes for her.
“It was Weining who noticed something was wrong with you. Originally, everyone wanted to call a doctor, but you kept refusing and holding onto the railing. So they called me over.” Xu Heran said with a proud expression on her face, “As soon as you heard my voice, you let go of the railing. Nuo Nuo, you trust me a lot!”
“Yes,” Xin Nuo replied calmly, inwardly surprised.
“We still have a recording tomorrow. I told everyone to rest first and brought you to my room. The doctor said you likely have acute gastroenteritis and prescribed medicine for you. It’s on the table.” Xu Heran finished speaking, her eyes lighting up as she pulled out a black silk hollowed-out nightgown.
“Wow—”
Xin Nuo: “…”
“You’re just a child, always thinking about such things.” Xin Nuo declined the nightgown, “I want your white one.”
Xu Heran immediately widened her eyes. “You actually remember that!”
Except for Xu Heran’s room, all the other dormitories had cameras because she lived alone, and her room’s furnishings were different from others’. However, she had worn the nightgown Xin Nuo mentioned once during a recording. That nightgown was loose and large, enough to wrap her hands and feet entirely, and it even had a round hat. She had worn it on that one occasion, never expecting Xin Nuo to remember.
Thinking of this, Xu Heran smirked deliberately. She playfully lifted the black silk nightgown and waved it in front of Xin Nuo.
“Little beauty, you’ve been captured by me, and it’s all according to my whims now! I’ll make you wear whatever I want you to wear! Hiahiahia~”
“Is that so?” Xin Nuo extended her arm, as if lifting a beaded curtain, and the cool, smooth fabric of the hollowed-out nightgown brushed against her snow-white skin. The two of them exchanged glances beneath the “curtain.”
“Master~ So powerful, yet you can’t even lift me?” Xin Nuo deliberately asked in a coquettish tone, her other hand gently raised to lightly tap Xu Heran’s chest, her laughter soft.
“It seems like, you can’t do it?”
